Is this still being researched on? Seems a little funky to me that no test ads are showing with everything as it should be.

This is also happening to me, no test ads are dropping for me and the code is exactly as the one shared here. The error code is 3 and the error message prompted on the onAdFailedToLoad callback is No ad config.. This is very odd as my app in production is consuming ads perfectly (using 0.11.0+3), but in the newer version that I am working on the test ads are not even showing (using 1.0.1).

Update

I have just tested the app with different combinations of app and banner IDs, here is a table demonstrating the outputs I got:

	Test 1	Test 2	Test 3
App ID	Test App ID	Personal App ID	Personal App ID
Banner ID	Test Banner ID	Test Banner ID	Personal Banner ID
Expected Output	Test Ads Displaying	Test Ads Displaying	Real Ad Displaying
Actual Output	Test Ads Displaying	`No ad config. Error code: 3`	Real Ad Displaying

It seems that the banner test ID does not like being called within the personal app ID, thus resulting in the no config error.

Thanks will check.

I’m really sorry, It took a very long

No worries, IMO that was quick.
